Which one shall i choose out of these two laptops?

[Anubikai]

so ive been looking for a laptop to buy and im not looking to get super great gaming performance, but i want something that is fairly nice. I need a good screen, atleast 6gb ram with a fairly powerful cpu. It should atleast be able to get through hd video easily...oh and i would like it to be thin and light....so ive found these which look ok, but i wnat something better.....

The i7 because you probably won't need 8GB of RAM because you won't be gaming and you can always upgrade that

[ComputerNoob]

I would probably go with the cheaper one, but it is all up to you what you need and dont need.

your 2nd choice (Asus VivoBook S550CA Ultrabook) seems more of a better deal for what you are looking for.

I'd go for the 1st option.

 

RAM and HDD can be easily upgraded afterwards, unlike a CPU, which you're most likely going to be stuck with for the time you own the laptop.

[Guest Gazzer96]

hyperthreading it very handy to have, so I say the 1st choice.

 

You can upgrade the RAM and the hard drive (or even add another hard drive if it has two slots).

 

What Iwould recommend is changing the thermal compound since they use cheap rubbish... thats if you know what you are doing.

the i5, more storage, you wont utilize the i7 and it got a bigger screen

i think the s400ca i7 laptop is better aswell....i know i can spend 22 pound seperately for 4gbmore of ram....
